Range hoods may seem like appliances that donít require much thought, but proper kitchen ventilation is far more important than you may realize.
Each time you fire up your cook-top, countless pollutants are vaporized into the air that you and your family are breathing. Installing the right range hood for your kitchen will help to reduce cooking smells, greasy deposits and even carbon monoxide.
Sizing, power, and instillation types are three important factors to consider. For a breakdown of how to properly select a range hood, our expert tips will guide you through the process (Tips From an Expert). Our customer assistants are extensively trained on the features, types and instillation of range hoods. Please feel free to call, email or chat with one of our professional consultants (Contact Us). Choose from our full line of range hoods from economy, under-cabinet hoods to high-end copper and stainless steel installations from top brands including Air King, Broan and Sirius.
Or, if youíre looking for a custom range hood to match your kitchen, we can advise on custom applications including inserts, facades, wood hoods and more.

The purpose of a range hood is to reduce heat, steam, smoke
and cooking odors and to vent them to the outside. Range Hoods
also trap cooking grease that would otherwise end up on your
walls, cabinets, and ceiling. When deciding which range hood is
right for you, there are some key things you should think about.
Position, size, power (or cfm), ducting options, and style are
some of the most imprtant things you will need to consider. In
addition, some range hoods optional features such as variable
speed control, lighting, and filter types. Our range hoods
expert at Kitchensource.com is happy to help you in choosing the
range hood that is right for you. In addition, we provide
detailed specs and installation instructions as well as
unbiased product reviews to help you in your selection process.

Types of Range Hoods:Wall Mount Range
Hoods is directly affixed to the wall and may have a decorative
chimney, or soffit, to line up with the top of your cabinets or
to "disappear" into your ceiling. An under cabinet
range hood is fixed to the bottom of a cabinet. It may duct
directly out the back, may go up through the cabinet or, may go
up a little and then out the back. A ceiling mount or island
range hood hangs from the ceiling over an island or peninsula.
It may also hang from peninsula wall cabinets. Downdraft units
are units in which fumes are drawn downwards under the floor and
out (like for a clothes dryer) or into a basement and out and
are most often used in an island situation if you don't want to
block a view - or if your range top needs to be placed in front
of a window.

Range Hood Power:Choosing the right CFM
for your range hood is very important. There are many factors to
consider when determining the CFM you need, such as the type and
output of your range top, the size of the hood, the positioning
of the hood, plus the length and configuration of your ductwork.

Range Hood Size:Ideally your range
hoods just be just wider than your cooktop. This extra width
will carry off much more of the fumes and make your kitchen
ventilation that much better. If you decide to match the hood
and cook top width, just watch out for possible scorching of the
bottom inside corners of the cabinet.

Range Hood Ducting:It is important
that your range hood is ducted correctly to prevent resistance
and keep noise levels down.
